Drug NameDuprost (Dutasteride)
Drug UsesDuprost is used to treat prostate enlargement, a condition that is medically known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH.
Drug Class and MechanismThe prostate is a chestnut-shaped gland that is part of the male reproductive system. It produces a liquid that forms part of the semen. This gland completely encloses the upper part of the urethra, the tube through which urine flows out of the bladder. Many men over age 50 suffer from a benign (noncancerous) enlargement of the prostate. The enlarged gland squeezes the urethra, obstructing the normal flow of urine. Resulting problems may include difficulty in starting urination, weak flow of urine, and the need to urinate urgently or more frequently. Sometimes surgical removal of the prostate is necessary.
By shrinking the enlarged prostate, Duprost may alleviate the various urinary symptoms, making surgery unnecessary. You will need to see your doctor for periodic examinations to assess your response to treatment. It may take several months before you notice an improvement in symptoms.
Warnings/PrecautionsYou should not take Duprost if you have ever had an allergic reaction to it or to similar drugs such as finasteride.
Women and children should not use Duprost.
If a pregnant or breastfeeding woman is exposed to Duprost, the drug may harm the developing baby (see "Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding").
You should not donate blood while taking Duprost or for 6 months after stopping treatment to avoid exposing pregnant or breastfeeding women to blood that contains the drug.
Possible Side EffectsSide effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Duprost.

Breast tenderness, decreased sex drive, ejaculation problems, enlarged breasts in males, hives, impotence, itchy spots, rash
